Reddit Megapost on Organized Mass Sexual Assaults in Europe

I'm not sure what to say about all this.
Obviously the affected countries must come down on the perpetrators/assailants/rapists like the very fist of God... But it's also, obviously, important to remember that even this extremely large number of violent criminals represents only a small fraction of the immigrant population. On the other hand, it also seems important to note that this isn't merely a matter of isolated, individual criminals. Rather, these attacks are obviously organized/coordinated, and are the result of some kind of social practice, and so it will have at least some tendency to be self-perpetuating. That is to say: it's not just a problem with a few individuals; it's something akin to a cultural/sub-cultural problem.
Very much not good.
